Cyberpunk 2077 Night City Wire: How to watch the first episode
Watch the whole stream starting at noon EDT / 5 pm BST
You'll need to know how to watch the Cyberpunk 2077 Night City Wire stream to catch all the latest news about the game, and you're already set.
Developer CD Projekt Red plans to host a 25-minute presentation starting on Thursday, June 25 at 9 am PDT / noon EDT / 5 pm BST, and you can catch it all as soon as it begins via the Twitch embed above.
There are two things you should know about this presentation going in: first, it will include a new trailer, a new look at gameplay, and an interview with developers about Cyberpunk 2077's in-game "braindance" augmented-reality feature; and second, it will be the first episode in an ongoing series.
CD Projekt Red hasn't said anything about when we can expect more episodes of Night CIty Wire to air yet, though if we're lucky we'll learn more about future installments before the first episode goes off the air.
Join us tomorrow, June 25 at 6PM CEST, at https://t.co/cBU8yS6pfc for the first, 25 minute episode of #NightCityWire, where we are going to show you a brand new trailer, present fresh gameplay footage and chat with the devs in detail about one of the game features, braindance. pic.twitter.com/2RReyCMkceJune 24, 2020
The initial teaser tweet includes an extremely brief snippet of a video, showing a flying vehicle swooping toward the Night City skyline. It looks a bit like the air ambulances that the Trauma Team uses.
From teases we've received before - as well as context drawn from the Cyberpunk tabletop roleplaying games that inspired CD Projekt Red - we know braindance is basically an extremely potent, futuristic version of augmented reality. Braindance allows you to replay memories or events using special hardware that interfaces with, what else, your brain. It sounds like it could significantly expand the kind of adventures you'll have in Night City. Maybe you could even experience what it would be like to live as a wandering monster hunter in a grim fantasy world…
We don't know what form future episodes of Night City Wire will take, but at least they give us something else to look forward to after the latest delay to Cyberpunk 2077.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
After playing the scariest mission in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, I'm going to need CDPR to make a fully-fledged survival horror RPG right now
Cyberpunk 2077 sequel director says CDPR may "never" win some fans back, but hopes future games like The Witcher 4 will: "That's unfortunately the price we have to pay"
